Vor meinem Fenster Singt ein Vogel. Still höre ich zu; mein Herz vergeht, Erinnerung klingt, Abendrot winkt, Dämmerung schwingt. Er singt, was ich als Kind besaß So rein errang, so voll bezwang, So traut durchmaß, so ganz besaß Und dann -- vergessen!

Before my window Sings a bird. I listen silently; my heart dissolves. Memory sounds, the evening glow beckons, twilight descends. It sings What I possessed as a child So purely achieved, so fully understood, So familiarly compassed, so completely possessed, And then -- forgot!
